I’ve been posting at ilind.net more or less regularly for 26 years, beginning in early 2000, if I recall correctly (although it might have been the following year).
I think this is the first time I’m reluctantly putting it aside for more than a few days.
The greatly edited story is that I watched the weekend’s storm from a 6th floor room at Straub Hospital.
Two attempts to complete an endoscopy failed, and I’m hoping to be admitted to a medical center in San Francisco for further diagnosis and treatment.
I might be moved to grab the keyboard now and then, but I need to avoid that little daily background stress and concentrate on my health.
I know you all understand and I appreciate all of your support.
And don’t forget that this remains a good place to search for interesting tidbits from the past z25 or 26 years.

Wishing the best for you, Ian. You are one of Hawaii’s treasures.
All the best for a speedy recovery, Ian. We will be [im]patiently waiting for your return.
Hi, Ian. Boy, I hope you are okay. Please keep us informed. I only now read your message beause I was away for 56 days.
Best wishes,
Ben
I’ve been admitted for diagnosis and treatment at UCSF, which is probably the best place in the country for this. So I have reason to be optimistic.
You take care of yourself Ian, and we will wait for your recovery and return. Best wishes to you.
No ifs, ands or buts…get well!
Best wishes for a successful procedure and speedy recovery.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery to you, for the sake of Meda and all the kitties, if nothing else. You’ll be great!
Lifting you up in prayer for complete healing.
Thoughts and prayers to a Hawai’i treasure!
